Harvey’s unprecedented rainfall has led to rising floodwater levels. After this mom had no other choice but to flee her trapped vehicle with her 3-year-old daughter, the two were swept along by the flood’s strong current. Whilst this mom fought relentlessly to keep her daughter’s head above the water, she ended up making the ultimate sacrifice to keep her daughter alive. Such is a mother’s beautiful love for her child!

According to a press release, Colette Sulcer, 41, and her daughter, Jordyn Grace, 3, were heading southbound on the 1-10 service road when water levels rose drastically.

To escape the high water, Sulcer pulled her car into the Plaza 10 parking lot, and it got stuck. Sulcer was forced to flee her car with Jordyn.

Tragically, the strong current swept Sulcer and Jordyn half a mile away from her car into a canal, where they were spotted by two Beaumont police officers and two Beaumont fire rescue divers in a Zodiac boat.

Sulcer was found floating in the canal with her freezing 3-year-old daughter clinging to her body.

Beaumont Police Department Spokeswoman Officer Carol Riley said Sulcer “absolutely saved the child’s life.” She was desperately trying her best to keep Jordyn afloat in the floodwaters.

“They were in the water for quite some time,” Riley told PEOPLE. “When the baby was found the baby was clinging to her. The mother did the best she could to keep her child up over the water.”

“The baby also had a backpack that was helping her float on her back and she was holding on to her mom,” she added.

The officers pulled Sulcer and Jordyn into the boat while the mother and little girl were floating toward a trestle. Had they floated underneath the trestle, it would have made the rescue impossible.

By the time they were rescued by the officers, Sulcer was unresponsive; however, Jordyn was still alive, though suffering from hypothermia.

Sulcer died shortly after they reached the ambulance, while Jordyn was saved, thanks to her mother’s unrelenting protection.

“It’s a true testament of a mother’s will to sacrifice her life to keep her child alive,” Officer Haley Morrow, a Beaumont police spokeswoman, told The Washington Post.

This mother’s sacrifice for her daughter has touched many hearts. A donation drive on GoFundMe initiated by fundraiser Michael Skolnik has raised over $142,000 as of Sep. 1, far exceeding his $100,000 goal.

Skolnik stated, “I will make sure the 100% of all money donated with go to Jordyn’s education and support.”

Clearly, this mother will be dearly remembered as a hero by her daughter when she grows up.

“Mama was saying her prayers,” Jordyn told a relative, Antionette Logan, while recovering on Wednesday in a Beaumont hospital, according to The New York Times.

Oh okay, I guess you mean yourselves. Very sad. I don’t know no mother that won’t give their lives for their children and definitely many have, no mother can stand there and watch their child die. It’s their nature to save their children first and foremost.

Sheekie HamSan of course they aren’t talking about themselves! Smh..
. What kind of mother wouldn’t save their children you ask? Ummm… maybe the kind that kill their children or put them purposely in harms way! You can’t be serious. Why downplay and diminish the actions of this woman who sacrificed her life for her child? We all are probably wondering “what kind of woman would have something negative to say about a tragedy like this?” Smh…. I’m glad you value yourself as a mother and would do the same for your kids. Just work on adding some compassion to those affected by a tragedy…. your comment was insensitive at the least.

Oh please. I never said anything NEGATIVE about this woman other then point out the selfless act of compassion any mother would do as she did. Mother’s always put their children at the forefront of all they do for the betterment of their children’s lives. Women make the most unthinkable sacrifices for their children daily even dying at times when giving birth. This c WOMAN was nothing short of amazing and all mother’s would do what she has done. I also said RIP and blessings. The fact you found my comment to be insensitive is your personal issue, not mine. I know the hurt she must have felt Kimberly Ambrose and the fear and tears she must have had during this moment of hopelessness, it’s heartbreaking and terrible. You are the one with no compassion but you are entitled to your feelings, but I know great women and don’t know any anywhere that will kill their children or put them in harm’s way and that’s in all walks of life and cultures. All mother’s are angels from God, but if you feel otherwise that is you. This angel definitely is not the only one who sacrificed during this tragedy many have and I’ve read and seen it already just horrible. They are real hero’s and will be blessed at the gates of heaven, you can’t diminish or belittle my words I know they came from a good loving place and if anyone thinks differently, it’s their problem not mine. I can’t and won’t control how anyone internalizes what i said negatively. God knows my heart so with that good day and blessings to you as well.

Lmbo, y’all just want to have something to say, she has passed but YOU say dead like she was an animal, so emotionless dang. Your downplaying her passing by just saying she dead. Horrible. How can anyone down play what many women have done in this Texas tragedy. Y’all trying to cause a verbal conflict focusing on all the wrong things instead of donating money, clothes, food. I did but y’all here just trying to make something out of nothing. Miserable lives. Because I said all women would do this sacrifice in a heart beat but I guess the negative nancies can’t relate. It’s no down play but an acknowledgement to all women.

A mothers love for her child is precious no other love is greater than the love of God, thank you Jesus for saving this child’s life, although the mom plays an hero to save her but did not make it but you knows all things Jesus

😢😢😢😢😢 its sad that the mom had to die but a blessing that she put her life on the line to protect and save her little girl the little will be proud when she grows and able to understand the sacrifice her mother made 💪🏿 This really touched my heart By me being a mother of 3 because I would do the same thing 🙌🏿 Women are natural born protectors 💯 May she RIP 🙏🏿
